sorry to be so self-promoting, but after all of these conversations i'm having with current and former federal workers, i'm going to have a lot to say about this kind of attitude from musk and from conservatives in the weeks to come.

i know it's cringe and uncool and will make me lose Internet Leftist Points for saying, but this is good and we have to keep playing the same game the right plays with influencing corporations DEI and rainbow capitalism or whatever are all good things and a microcosm for society at large

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

In many ways it's fitting that the showdown between monarchy and democracy ends up being over NYC congestion pricing. Cities are where the power of kings were first challenged, and few things are more fundamental to government than control of public space. The cameras are staying on!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

A lot of people in my local orbit are getting cranky about the national anthem getting booed at sporting events. My dudes, the problem is not that some people despise us, the problem is that we deserve it.

Genuinely worse than the first thing Trump was impeached for.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

if you're in the UK and have an outdoor cat (like most UK cats), I would be seriously thinking about switching them to an inside cat given the bird flu situation; there's already been dozens of US cat cases (where outdoor cats are much rarer but bird flu growing) and UK bird flu cases are rising

Thinking again about Indivisible Brooklyn giving the excuse that they hadnt targeted Malliotakis for protests bc she wouldnt care if they did. It should be obvious now that GOP reps do in fact very much care about whether or not they get targeted for pushback & are likely to be easily rattled by it.

Honestly call this cringe if you will but I honestly think the rest of us who appreciate what we owe Ukraine to take the time to actually thank them so our friends don't have to feel this way. So: thank you, Ukraine, for my country's independence. Lithuania still lives because of you.

I really don't understand why pundits don't understand this. MANY of you have better platforms than any Democrat this side of AOC. If you spend all your time whining (some more) about Democrats, then you are being just as feckless, you are giving the GOP just as much of a pass, as the Dems are.

If you know anyone in Delaware they need to be encouraged to call their state reps and Governor right now, and take to the streets. Musk cannot be allowed to get this money easily

I am not kidding when I say Madison intended impeachment to be used on the first, next, and last President who referred to themselves as a king, and we ought to do him right

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

It's pretty bad! Trump political appointees are openly leveraging felony corruption charges against the mayor of America's largest city to ensure his office's compliance with nonconventional federal law enforcement task forces, which are shipping people to overseas black sites without trial. 4.2?

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

The question to me is whether it's that WIRED is the only one getting this dirt, or it's that WIRED is the only one who dares publish it. The fact that these stories aren't being immediately vultured onto the New York Times front page with minimal or no attribution makes me suspect the latter

anyway. People want resistance and I get that but they have simultaneously decided that resistance has to come from the federal legislature and that, I do not get. Look to the states, look to the courts, and look to the people.

I’ve considered it and, you know what? I don’t fucking care. They’ve already elevated those exact far right outlets at the Pentagon and pushed out legacy media. Legitimate news outfits can take a stand against this now, or they can meekly enable this fascist shit & still get pushed out later.
